To
mark the Global Ethics Day 2020, ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants) joined forces with CFA Society Pakistan, HBL, ICMA Pakistan,
Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited (PSX), and the Pakistan Business Council's
Centre of Excellence in Responsible Business (CERB) for a series of panel
discussions engaging country’s top business leaders.
The
conversation leaders constructively discussed the pressing ethical and environmental
challenges of today and exchanged views and solutions on how organisations can
blaze the trail of sustainability and cultivate a culture of workplace
ethics.
The
business leaders stressed that businesses can continue to deliver financial
returns while generating positive value for society and being environmentally
responsible for the planet. As our world strives to recover from the impact of
Covid-19, they feel that there is a growing demand for organisations and
nations to become fairer and more sustainable.
Global
Ethics Day is an annual, international day dedicated to exploring the role of
ethics in today’s world. Founded by the Carnegie Council, organisations are
encouraged to hold programmes focusing on ethics, such as lectures, film
screenings, debates, panel discussions, or activities to protect the
environment.
In
addition to these virtual panel discussions, to celebrate Global Ethics Day
2020, ACCA in Pakistan also conducted several other activities such as a
Virtual Film Festival & Teach-in, Ethics Essay Competition in partnership
with CFA Society Pakistan, the release of ACCA’s latest research into sustainable
public finances, and a global prize themed ‘Ethics and Trust in Finance for a
Sustainable Future’.
